Marcel Duchamp: Time-Engineer

A Revolutionary Approach to Art

In "Marcel Duchamp: Time-Engineer," art historian and critic Rosalind Krauss presents a groundbreaking new interpretation of the work of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Krauss argues that Duchamp's art is not simply about objects, but about the experience of time itself.

Duchamp's Readymades

Duchamp is best known for his readymades, everyday objects that he selected and exhibited as art. Krauss argues that these readymades are not simply objects, but rather "time-machines" that transport the viewer to a different moment in time. For example, Duchamp's famous urinal, "Fountain," is not simply a urinal, but a reminder of the moment when Duchamp first saw it and decided to exhibit it as art.

The Large Glass

Duchamp's most ambitious work, "The Large Glass," is a complex and enigmatic painting that has been the subject of much debate and interpretation. Krauss argues that "The Large Glass" is a meditation on the passage of time and the relationship between the human body and the machine.

Duchamp's Influence

Duchamp's work has had a profound influence on the development of modern and contemporary art. His readymades and his exploration of the experience of time have opened up new possibilities for artistic expression. "Marcel Duchamp: Time-Engineer" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art and the nature of creativity.
